Hi.
I'm fiddeling around with settings to create a a5 booklet with the
text as close as possible to the middle of the book.
I use A4 paper, two column document, landscape orientation.
But is there anything I can do to adjust the text to be closer to the middle?
I will print the paper in a duplex pr
Hello.
I have a file mystuff.inc that I had included in
.lyx/layouts/article.layout
Input mystuff.inc
but now I have an empty directory .lyx/layouts so I wonder how I can
get lyx to take notice to my own layouts. I would prefer not to copy
everything to my own .lyx directory, but if that is what

But then I have to edit the already existing article.layout to include
mystuff.inc :-(

Soo... this is a simple little example of my module. There are some
questionmarks that I have no idea what to write in? what should I call
my file? mystuff.module?

Hi.
I seem to remember that a LyX / wiki connection was discussed some
time ago and it just struck me that that is also an nice way of
collaborating.
The ability to save LyX documents as a wiki page and load a wiki page into Lyx.
In non-lyx environment there might be a wiki page for information

I'd say: create converters that are shipped with LyX instead!
If I may generalize a little
The word use
You usually don't get that kind of support for computer programs, but
the help you can get when it comes to LyX is marvelous!
A big thank you to everyone that answer questions on the list!

Hi.
Is it possible to change the default unit for column width from inch
to mm (or something else?)
First I wish to come clean with one thing: I'd like to see LyX being
used by the ms word people in the industry, so my take is: do not
trust files someone send to you (see earlier discussions on
collaboration)

I just viewed a video demo of google wave, and remembered the
collaboration discussion when someone talked about using wiki for
collaborative editing, but google wave sounds to be a much more
interesting tool for collaboration in this way. So either use wave for
LyX files or use LyX to edit Waves?
Hi.
I'm having the problem of creating a table with three columns and each
column will contain a lot of text, so I've set the columns to be like
5 cm wide (each). The problem is now that some cells contains strings
of characters that are not properwords and these must be wrapped, else

Great. Although I have to add them manually. So the two questions remains:
How to avoid doing that manually, and how can I not get the
hyphenation character (minus) at the end of the line?

I started to write with document class= article and language =
swedish. I then activated the module "Theorem" and added a theorem and
a proof.
In the lyx window it shows "Theorem" and "Proof" (should it not be in swedish?

Will I be equally pleased to hear about the release date?
Just kidding. Thanks for all the work with LyX ;-)
